Java Stream Collectors Explanation

The document explains two key operations of the Java Stream API: Collectors.toList() and Collectors.groupingBy(). Collectors.toList() collects stream elements into a List without transformation, while Collectors.groupingBy() groups elements based on a classifier function, returning a Map of keys and corresponding Lists. A summary table is also provided to outline the result types and purposes of these collectors.

Java Stream API - Collectors Explained

1. [Link]()
[Link]() is a terminal operation in the Stream API that collects the stream
elements into a List. It does not perform any transformation or grouping. It simply
accumulates all the elements as they appear in the stream into a new List.

Example:

List<String> names = [Link]("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie");


List<String> collected = [Link]().collect([Link]());
[Link](collected); // Output: [Alice, Bob, Charlie]

2. [Link]()
[Link]() is used to group stream elements by a classifier function. It returns
a Map where the keys are the result of applying the classifier function, and the values are
Lists of items that matched the key.

Example:

List<String> names = [Link]("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David");


Map<Integer, List<String>> grouped = [Link]()
.collect([Link](name -> [Link]()));
[Link](grouped); // Output: {3=[Bob], 5=[Alice, David], 7=[Charlie]}

3. Summary Table
Collector Result Type Purpose
[Link]() List<T> Collects elements into a list
[Link](...) Map<K, List<T>> Groups elements by a key
derived from a function
